Event Details

Welcome to the third annual 90-Second Newbery Film Festival—a yearly video contest in which kid filmmakers create movies that tell the entire story of a Newbery award-winning book in 90 seconds or less. We screen annually in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, and Tacoma!

Make your FREE reservation to the PORTLAND SCREENING of the third annual 90-Second Newbery! The screening is hosted by film festival founder and children's author James Kennedy with special co-host Portland author Amber Keyser! The creativity in the movies we've received this year has been astonishing—by turns hilarious, ingenious, and inspiring.

This year, the Portland 90-Second Newbery will screen on Sunday, March 2 from 3-5 pm at the da Vinci Arts Middle School (2508 NE Everett Street).

Tickets are free. Judging from past screenings, this is likely to "sell out," so please reserve your seat to ensure admittance.

Organizer

The 90-SecondNewbery Film Festival (founded in 2011) is an annual video contest in which kid filmmakers create weird short movies that tell the entire stories of Newbery-winning books in about 90 seconds.

Ever since 1922, the Newbery Medal has been recognized as the most prestigious award in children’s literature. But any classic book, no matter how worthy and somber, turns into something fresh and bonkers when compressed into 90 seconds. Here are 25 standouts from the hundreds of kid-made videos we've received over the years: http://bit.ly/2cbDC1r

The best of each year's movies are shown at FREE yearly screenings across the country, in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, San Antonio, Minneapolis, and many other cities--co-hosted by author James Kennedy (The Order of Odd-Fish) and other children's authors. These free shows combine screenings of the kids' movies with live comedy bits, and have been a smash hit from the start, with crowds of hundreds, including the young filmmakers themselves.
